Last year Turkey Tuesday seem like a hit so I decided we will do it again leading up to the season. Just post any picture(s) turkey hunting related on Tuesday of each week.

Late 80s I believe. My cousin and I both had gobblers roosted and tagged out the next morning. One of the few times we all had a camp. I miss those days.

Good friend of mine who was deployed for a year. Just prior to him coming home I was deployed for a year. So I got home in the spring and we hunted together one morning. I called on both birds together but we weren't able to pull off the double. I killed one and we were headed back to the truck when the second bird gobbled on his own. We ran back and set up. Got him to finally commit and Scott laid him down. It was a great morning, not a good morning for gobbling but we had a blast and got lucky.

This bird was a blast. Him and I played cat and mouse for a while, but I came out on top. He was hunted pretty hard for a couple seasons by a bunch of guys on neighboring properties, I don't think any of them played a trumpet though cause he was in love with mine. He had big spurs for our area(1-1/4") and was a beautiful copper color that shined in the sun. I killed him around 11am if I remember correctly.

2013, had a knee replacement in January that year. The doc messed up and broke my knee and the prosthetic came loose. I got around the woods pretty slow that year! The cabin and foundation are on a family friends place, he owns a couple of acres in the middle of national forest.

Awesome! Doubles aren't legal here, which has it's pluses and minuses. Tough to let them walk, fun to target them again.
You have to give details, you can't say something like best hunt ever and not give a story!

Donald killed one and about 1 minute later I killed the 2nd Tom. The second tom was the first one out, but Donald bird popped out 20 yards to the right. We could hear him drumming and spitting. We had those birds fired up the afternoon before, but all we managed to call in were Jake's. Donald knew where they were going to be in the morning, they showed as if given a script. Was action packed.

Ok, I thought he meant he killed both. Sounds like a great hunt, only thing better than a guy having the thrill of bagging a Tom is two guys having the thrill.

We can't kill two a day here. Done it in KS. My son and I killed 3 in one day and had the 4th at 10 yards, but passed cause I wanted to tag out with the bow. Rusty killed a nice triple beard in the morning and a toad of gobbler That afternoon. It was 20 something pounds and had 1.5 inch hooks with a rope. That was an action pack day too. I've been lucky to be blessed with a bunch good days in the woods and a few great ones.

We can kill two per day and three for the year. Glad we do not have a one per day rule, could make for some long days if you kill one early! Killing two early makes the day go great though.

Interesting thing about this one is I thought he was dead until I picked him up. He had one last kick in him and I ended up getting stitches between my thumb and forefinger from his spur.
